How to find value of timer in cocos2d iphone

Question

I am doing a simple stop clock like game. The game consists of a timer for 60 secs I attain it by

    AtlasSpriteManager *mgr = [AtlasSpriteManager spriteManagerWithFile:@"bringit_timer.png" capacity:10];
    [self addChild:mgr z:5 tag:2];
    AtlasSprite *sprite = [AtlasSprite spriteWithRect:CGRectMake(0,0,33,200) spriteManager:mgr];
    [mgr addChild:sprite];
    sprite.position = ccp(160,240);
    sprite.scale = 1.0;
    [sprite runAction:[RotateBy actionWithDuration:60 angle:360]];

After that i need to add effects by scaling up the clock for every 10sec. I can get the effect by

   [Circle runAction:[ScaleTo actionWithDuration:2 scale:1.3]];

but dont know how to find 10th second. Can anyone tell me how to find the value of the timer in the 10th second with some sample code.

Answer 1

Why don't you have a timer fire every 10 seconds as opposed to every 60 seconds? You can have a flag/counter/etc. to count when 60 seconds have passed and then reset to watch for the next 60 seconds.
